That article goes on to say that the twins are named "Helena and Lorna". O_o You guys should see the hovercraft list. There's a few non-canon ships there, mostly from some story called "The Operator Did It".
Wasn't the old Merovingian liaison, Inundiation, created from some of Flood's code?

Now, as far as I know, there's no way to take a in-game screenshot of an in-game email. Yet I've seen plenty of email screenshots. I assume some program is being used to take a picture of whatever is on the desktop at the moment? What's a...

Any word on this character's details?
Breaking news. According to Harkee, Roland has been promoted to Commander in Lock's absence. Zion can't go without a Commander as they wait for Lock to return. If Lock returns, then he will return to his original position as Commander, but...

Since I've had several people ask me about this already, I've decided to post my findings here. As last Friday's event pointed out, Wright used alphadecimal (aka base36) encryption on her messages. http://www.translatorscafe.com/cafe...mal...
I did some testing using base36 and screenshots of two of the hackable computers in the Zion criticals. It's decimal, which you have to convert to base36 to decode.
Recently, Rylet, Merrit, and Harkee have all mentioned Roland and his crew. Apparently he's commanding the Mjolnir II now. According to Harkee, his ship crashed when the Machines' virus hit old Zion's database. The ship was still running o...

Fractor wrote: Was this the first time Niobe's operator Sparks has been mentioned in-game? I don't think he has played a part in the story before. No. I know he's been mentioned in live events over the couse of the game's life.
You know, the first known use of the term "kamikaze" referred to the two typhoons that prevented Kublai Khan from invading Japan twice in the late 1200s ...
I liked the fact that it made references to this event . And here's the log I made of that particular event.
I liked the smoke effect on the Cryptos box. That was a nice touch. Edit: Oh, and something I've been curious about. The original Cryptos had a Jamaican accent. When the Program inside him is speaking out of him, he has that monotone voice...
It's always cool to learn more about a LESIG character's background. ^_^
Erm, which "Kill Bill Bar"? There's more than one of these places, despite what you might think.

I understand what you're saying from a role playing point of view. But I don't see why the majority of the community should be left out because of a fictional war going on in a video game. Look at the live event posts, they are still showi...
I liked the group of Exiles so much, I stayed at the bar and logged what they said after AMRadio was taken away. It was great, but I hate it when events split up like that. I'm only one person.
Why did you teleport me out of the meeting area, Rarebit? You know I wouldn't do anything to mess up the event or anything. Though on the plus side, I did get to synchronize with a South Vauxton hardline near where you moved me to. Yay! ^-^
*scratches head* So ... the characters can't change their clothes for some reason? I recall several characters going through at least one outfit change in the trilogy. And I can't speak for all of you, but I certainly change my clothes.

Okay, I realize this will probably interest only two of you out there, but the Unclean now have text in their Details. It's nice to finally see some background on those characters. I checked the Ethereals and the Spinnerettes real quick to...

The character profiles in Enter the Matrix give Neo's age as 35, as I recall.

I signed up for the newsletter at the very beginning, and I got buddy keys the last time a giveaway occurred. I've made absolutely no changes to the newsletter setting. Yet I didn't get them either. The only thing I got is a newsletter abo...
Looks familiar. I may have seen a picture or video of Toby Ragaini or some other dev wearing that.
Seems the mission problems were some kind of odd server thing, because I was able to do the mission without any problems after the servers went back up. Good thing too. I was worried there.

I've found another change. One type of signpost NPC (the NPCs with the floating "i" above their heads that can be found around the former "newbie hardlines" ) who gives a brief summary of what has happened between the end of Revolutions an...
I know this will probably interest only a handful of you guys. But the dialogue for the NPCs that stand next to the org collectors have finally changed. They haven't changed since just after "Death of the Destroyer" ended. Most of the new...

Meh. Sorry for being negative, and I'm sure I'm in the minority, but this kind of stuff doesn't interest me much. Morpheus, Niobe, Agent Pace, the mission controllers, the neighborhood contacts ... I've seen most of these characters for ov...
Yay! You're back!

I don't know if this is related or not, but in Mahiro Maeda's commentary, he says that the Machines created Zero One "in a compromise", implying that there was some form of agreement. Though he doesn't go into detail, so this could mean an...
Doesn't the official Matrix site have a store somewhere? It sells sunglasses.

I've been wondering about something lately. Does anyone know of any in-character explanations for the disappearances of at least some of the LESIG characters? I realize that not every disappearance has an explanation behind it. And I don't...
